Mushroom and Spinach Quinoa

I cannot stress enough how much I gravitate towards simple, quick recipes. It makes cooking feel a lot less daunting – especially being someone who used to set off the smoke alarm pretty regularly. Was it a faulty detector, was it me burning the pan? Who knows!

But I also like to use healthy ingredients, and fewer is preferable. The following recipe is one I recently discovered from a Facebook friend, posted by Detoxinista. I adapted it the second time I made it though for even more simplicity. Have I mentioned I like fast clean-ups too?
